The Essentials of Family Therapy by Michael P Nichols

The Essentials of Family Therapy by Michael P Nichols

In this first edition of The Essentials of Family Therapy , the authors describe the full scope of family therapy - its rich history, the classic schools, the latest developments - but with a strong emphasis on clinical practice (rather than just history and theory). In comparison with the classic work from these authors, titled Family Therapy: Concepts and Methods, 5/e, this volume contains more up-to-date descriptions of the latest models, an expanded treatment of basic clinical practice, a rich description of the contemporary influences on the field, and a thorough, consistent emphasis on clinical techniques throughout.

Richard C. Schwartz, PhD, began his career as a family therapist and an academic, at the University of Illinois and at Northwestern University. In the early 1980s he developed the Internal Family Systems model (IFS) in response to clients' descriptions of various parts within themselves, finding that their relationships resembled the families he had worked with. In 2000, he founded the Center for Self Leadership, which offers three levels of trainings in IFS in the United States and abroad. Since 2012, Dr. Schwartz has lived in Brookline, Massachusetts, and is on the faculty at Harvard Medical School. A featured speaker for national professional organizations, Dr. Schwartz has published five books and over 50 articles about IFS.
